Directions
My Grandma’s Chocolate Pies, My grandma didn’t measure anything so this is as close as I could get I never said it was a healthy recipe It can be made without the evaporated milk and using low fat or skim milk and using margarine instead of butter but please use real vanilla and a good quality cocoa You might have to adjust the cornstarch or cocoa depending on how thick or chocolaty you like your pies I make 2 of these pies for every church covered dish meal and never get to bring a slice home Oh yes you can cook the filling in a large double boiler to avoid scorching it, it just takes longer , Instead of putting the pie under the broiler, used a small kitchen torch to brown it and it turned out amazing!, This is a show-stopping dessert! I only made one pie because it would be dangerous to have two at home, so I easily cut the recipe in half It’s so good! Make it because you won’t regret it!
